DavidandGoliath-StorySummary:
ThePhilistinearmyhadgatheredforwaragainstIsrael.
A Philistine giant measuring over nine feet tall and
wearing came out each day for forty days,
mocking and challenging the Israelites to fight. His
name was Goliath. , the King of Israel, and the
wholearmywereterrifiedofGoliath.
One day , the youngest son of Jesse, was sent to
the battle lines by his father to bring back news of his
brothers. David was probably just a young teenager at
the time. While there, David heard Goliath shouting
his daily defiance and he saw the great fear stirred
withinthemenofIsrael.Davidresponded,"Whoisthis
uncircumcised Philistine that he should defy the

armiesofGod?”
So David volunteered to fight Goliath. It took some
persuasion, but King Saul finally agreed to let David
fightagainstthegiant.

sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in
the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies
of Israel, whom you have defied ... today I will give the
carcassesofthePhilistinearmytothebirdsoftheair...
and the whole world will know that there is a God in
Israel.
As Goliath moved in for the kill, David reached into his
bag and slung one of his stones at Goliath's head.
Finding a hole in the armor, the stone sank into the
giant's forehead and he fell face down on the ground.
David then took Goliath's sword, killed him and then
cut off his head. When the Philistines saw that their

Points of Interest from the David and
GoliathStory:
David's faith in God caused him to look at the giant
from a different perspective. David looked at the
battlefromGod'spointview.
When the giant criticized, insulted and threatened,
David didn't stop or even waver. Everyone else
cowered in fear, but David ran to the battle. He knew
that action needed to be taken. David did the right
thing in spite of discouraging insults and fearful
threats.OnlyGod'sopinionmatteredtoDavid.
QuestionsforReflection:
We are facing a giant problem of human trafficking
which seems impossible to us. Stop for a minute and
refocus. Can you see the situation more clearly from
God'svantagepoint?
Do we need to take courageous action in the face of

MORALOFTHESTORY
If we study the story carefully we will clearly see that
Human Trafficking is equal to Goliath “The Giant” and
the Anti Human Trafficking program of Diocese of
Durgapur is like “David” the one who believed in
“GOD” and never doubted the power of the creator.
Goliath did not challenge David personally but it was
David who could not bear the insult of his lord and his
fellow men by Goliath. No one in this world asked
David to fight with Goliath rather they doubted and
underestimatedhim.
Diocese of Durgapur under the Good guidance of The
Bishop, The Rt. Rev. Dr. Probal Kanto Dutta has taken
the proper measures by giving shape to the noble
thought to fight and Curb Human Trafficking through
the formation ANTI HUMAN TRAFFICKING PROGRAM.
This program has walked down the death-valley of
human trafficking for a fairly nascent period of three
years and has already created milestones along the
way, with the sole purpose of glorifying the name of
theAlmighty.
Human trafficking has many faces; it's our humble
request to all the readers and the churches to come
forward and stand up against these inhuman acts of
trafficking, which exists everywhere. Find that God
gifted talent inside yourself and stand up for God's-
justice.
At the end of our lives we will not be judged by how
many diplomas we have received, how much money
we have made or how many great things we have
done. We will be judged by “I was hungry and you gave
me to eat. I was naked and you clothed me. I was
homelessandyoutookmein.Icriedforhelpandyouhold
myhand.<

Thestory
One day Prokash aunt came to Daud Mardi's house
andsaidthatProkashisgrowingupandheneedstoget
into some job or work. So she will take him with her to
Haryana and let him work in her husband's hotel. So
Daud Mardi agreed and gave permission to take
Prokash, thinking that his grandson will soon start
earning and will live an independent life. So Benejita
tookProkashtoHaryanaalongwithher.Butwithinfew
weeks Prokash called his Grandfather and started
crying and said that he wants to come home, he
neither likes the job nor the behaviors of his Aunt and
uncle . So Daud Mardi called Benejita and requested
her to bring Prokash back but she harshly replied that
shedoesnothavetimetodropProkashback.
So One day Daud Mardi went to Haryana, after
reaching Benejita's house, he was informed that his
grandson stole a sum of Rs 20000 (twenty thousand
rupees)andfledfromtherethenightbefore.
Daud Mardi was surprised to hear that because he
knew that Prokash did not have that kind of mentality
of stealing. He was a quite & obedient boy. As Daud
Mardi was alone and an alien to Haryana he had no
otheroptionsotherthantoreturnhomequietly.
It is obvious that Benejita and her Husband has kept
Prokash in some secret place and narrated a false story
toDaudMardi.

Coordinator).
The event was greatly successful and very fruitful
because of the unbelievable turn of audiences came
to witness and learn about Human Trafficking. The
schools inspite of having board exams participated
with great enthusiasm. The women's SHG group
formed a team by taking women from different
groups; it was quite surprising to see that local men
also joined the women's SHG team. Hope we will
keepupwithourworkanddothenecessarytospread

The main motive of the drama
competition was to visualize our
case studies and let the audience
and participants think about
trafficking that is taking place right
under their nose, which they fails to
identify.<

Livelihood support
School awareness campaign
To stop the trafficking of these displaced people and
other poor, marginalized people we have to help them
raise their standard of living. The most of the poor,
marginalized and displaced people are daily labours,
or hawkers or seasonal workers and are illiterate. So
what we are doing is acting as a link between the
government institutions and the poor people and
helping them to get the benefits of the different
governmentschemes.
These schemes are offered by the government at
different times of the year, for the betterment of these
people.
Kaji Sahanaj Banu (AHT - animator) has formed many
women SHG groups. In the past month she has
submitted documents of 10 women SHG groups in the
Minority cell office at Balurghat for minority loan of Rs
1, 50,000 to each group. This will raise the standard of
living of these people and will prevent migration to

To all the readers
Human trafficking is the most inhuman act of humans.
If the traffickers are to be blamed for performing these
Inhuman act then we are to be blamed too for doing
nothing to stop this crime. Diocese of Durgapur has
raised its voice through AHT, program, now its your
turn to take a stand against this crime. Please raise
your voice because its the Lords Child who are
suffering.
Those who trust in God will never perish but will
receiveeternallife
Please identify the talent that THE LORD has blessed
you with, and act according to your strengths. For
David never doubted the lord and defeated the Giant
“Goliath” not with any weapons but with the talent
that he had. For God does big things through small
instruments
Kaji Shanaj Banu (AHT - Animator) with
the Women of SHG groups
We are not asking you to start a big movement, you
all can start at individual level. Kids that you see on
the roads and streets are at more risk of being
trafficked or may fall into the trap of anti-social. At
least you all can spend an hour educating them.
Teaching them the value of life and importance of
being loyal and good to others. Guide them, help
them grow in a safe atmosphere. Give them your old
cloths, blankets and other things which is of no use to
you. The food that you waste at your house and
restaurants,packthosefoodandgiveittothem.Help
does not always mean financial help or to adopt, its
your passion/ will to help. There are so many ways to
help.
Don't just be a philosopher of change, be an
instrumentofchange.Beapartofit.
Remember every child imitates what they see while
growing, so the way you behave with them today will
ensure the behavior you will get from them
